Do you suffer from the effects of dry skin? You’re not alone. Many people – both men and women – struggle with this issue, and it can be affected by a wide range of causes: natural skin aging, inappropriate care routines, or the seasons. Beyond the aesthetic aspect, dry skin can lead to additional unpleasantness such as irritation, dandruff, cracks, flaking, localized burning sensations and redness, as well as impaired quality of life.
Tips to prevent dry skin
In the absence of a medical condition that causes the dryness, you can treat the phenomenon and provide the necessary relief independently. Top tips and solutions:
Sun protection – Protecting your face from the sun’s harmful rays is essential to health, particularly in a warm country like Israel. To avoid damaging the appearance of your skin, including signs of dryness, make sure to apply protective creams and wear a hat when outside.
Make sure to completely remove makeup – Sleeping with traces of makeup is likely to harm the appearance of your skin in a number of ways, including dryness and irritation.
Avoiding overheating – Dry facial skin in winter is liable to be the result of long stays in excessively heated spaces. Try reducing use of heaters or air conditioning if you can. You can also add a moisturizer.
Lengthy baths – A long bath is a luxurious and enjoyable habit, but may dry out your skin if you overdo it. Try to minimize the amount of time you spend in the bath.
A treatment regime suitable for dry skin
The products you use daily, whether day cream, facial serum, or night cream, are likely to affect the appearance of facial skin – positively or negatively. Dry facial skin needs specific care products, so it’s important to be diligent in making your selection. As a rule, we recommend looking at the main ingredients in the products you use. Various care preparations include ingredients that are likely to dry out the skin, and are therefore not universally recommended. Products suitable for dry skin must include essential ingredients that preserve skin’s natural moisture, nourish it, and keep it flexible. Day cream suitable for dry skin, for example, will include such ingredients as jojoba oil, coconut oil, and calendula oil.
On the other hand, night cream may contain such ingredients as olus oil, which moisturizes the skin and protects it from losing moisture, as well as sweet almond oil and shea nut oil.
What about honey-based care products?
Honey-based products have been known for many years to be excellent skin moisturizers. Honey is included in various skin treatments – including for dandruff, seborrhea, psoriasis, and more. Royal jelly affects collagen production as well as moisturizing the skin and improving elasticity. Research has also shown that manuka honey has four times the skin benefits of other honey.
Bmanuka care products include all the compounds listed above in addition to manuka honey and bee venom – with positive results on the symptoms of dry skin. Each quality preparation gives the skin the moisture it needs, whether it’s Bmanuka’s day cream, night cream, or facial serum. Each firms up, lifts, and refreshes your skin, helping you look and feel great.
Incidentally, if you forgot, here’s a reminder that dry skin is likely to be accompany the early appearance of wrinkles, as well as aggravating existing wrinkles. Thus, even in this context, if you want a fresh, firm, and elastic look, you need to treat the signs of dryness early.”
